[R129 SL] battery

[Jan Kuylaars]

If the vacuum pump looses air , it will repeat for 30 seconds and then stop.
So normally that should not be the problem.
But the solution with the fuses is a good idea to check witch circuit is the
reason.

Does your SL have central locking?  Might be a leak in that system where the
vacuum motor is cycling.  One way to check is to pull each fuse, one by one,
and see which one stops that spiking every 30 seconds and that might help
narrow it down.  Could also be an interior light or trunk light left on.

my 1995 sl500 looses battery charge even with brand new battery.
test shows a spike to 20 milliamps when the radio light blinks - ok
and a random spike to around 150 milliamps evry 30 seconds or so
almost to quick to see on the guage but shows on the recording
any idea what might be drawing
thanks,
bill
